U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said Trump has indicated there is no need at present for military action against Iran. Rubio said Iran is keen to reach a deal but its current demands are absurd and the parties remain far from agreement. The U.S. will not accept a bad Iran deal and is prepared to negotiate if a negotiable agreement emerges; Iran's demand for compensation will not be met, he said.
